One World Sports extends licensing deal with Arsenal

ONE World Sports, America's Network for Global Sports, has extended its exclusive, multi-year licensing agreement of Arsenal FC TV for multi-platform use in the U.S. and Canada. Arsenal FC TV is the soccer club's official television channel that covers the club extensively on and off the pitch.

"The renewal of our partnership with Arsenal enables ONE World Sports to offer premium soccer content with full access to one of the most popular global sports brands to our North American audience," said Joel Feld, Executive Vice President, Programming & Production, ONE World Sports.

"What sets our coverage apart from other networks is the intense match day action combined with the opportunity to get up close and personal with the Arsenal club that fans in the United States and Canada can't find anywhere else."

"We're delighted that ONE World Sports has renewed its contract to partner with Arsenal and its continued commitment to delivering Arsenal TV across North America," said Ben Ladkin, General Manager, Arsenal Football Club. "It's a great opportunity for all our fans to watch Arsenal programming and get closer to the club and we're looking forward to working with them to deliver more great content."

Under the agreement, with international media rights agency MP & Silva, ONE World Sports will deliver Arsenal's games throughout the 10-month season, including those within the English Premier League (EPL), Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Championship and Football Association (FA) Cup.

In addition to the matches, ONE World Sports' Arsenal FC programming on both its network and mobile platforms includes pre- and post-match interviews, features and analyses. ONE World Sports will also provide an insider's view of the club with exclusive player and coach profiles, historical reviews and engaging insights with top players.
